Cardoons, salsify, odd greens, beans and other veggies are my specialty: If it is not likely on a typical produce counter, then it’s probably in my garden. You can get many of these odd vegetables at good farmer’s markets, and of course you can grow your own. Linked below are some sources for seeds and sets.

NOTE: I do indeed have some recipes for “regular” garden vegetables, and they are here, too.

Hank love the site. Used to live in Rio Linda. Do you have any recipes/foraging tips on the chicory roots/plants that are all over in the fields there? I drink a chicory blend coffee from Cafe Du Monde and have wondered what could be done with all that chicory at my parents old place.
